Israeli govt meeting near Jerusalem site angers Palestinians
A senior Palestinian official sharply condemned Israel for holding a government meeting near a sensitive Jerusalem site.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet met Sunday in tunnels that run near one of the holiest sites in Jerusalem for a special session marking the anniversary of Israel's capture of the city's eastern sector, in the 1967 Six-Day War. Saeb Erekat called the meeting a "provocation" that sent a "clear message to the Palestinian people."
